ill probably get some hate for this but i always felt like embracing it is a better way of shutting up someone than getting mad or offended im not saying that this word cant be used hurtfully or with malice but when i hear it i just embrace it yeah i am a faggot this is my boyfriend hes a faggot and we just do faggot things together by turning it into our word it makes it light and makes it a silly word rather than a hurtful word
